“I became an advocate for people living with Parkinson’s about 10 years ago. It has given my life a deeper meaning and calling. It’s the most rewarding work I do. I always get more than I give. When I’m asked to speak to PD support groups or at events, I always say “yes.”

I often encounter folks hanging on every word to discover something that will help with an issue they are struggling with. It’s at times, it’s heartbreaking but more than that, intensely motivating. I love my work.”
